Top Gun: Maverick / Inception Fusion!

Prompt #1: The scenario

When Bradley Bradshaw was a child, Goose died in a similar way to Mal in Inception. Both Maverick and Iceman were on the job that made him question his reality. Years later, Bradley has entered the dreamsharing scene. He is on a job with his time, diving into a sick Iceman’s mind in order to get information and wake him up for further treatment. Bradley has an ulterior motive, however-he is using the job to understand Goose’s death, and will do whatever it takes to get answers. 

Prompt #2: Rework an iconic line from Inception into the world of TG:M

Prompt #3: One of the TG:M characters has been incepted. The team has to figure out how to undo it. 

Prompt #4: Take a concept from Inception and rework it into the world of TG:M.

Prompt #5: Flip it around! Write the characters from Inception into the world of Top Gun. 

Prompt #6: Make your own!

Hello and welcome to the Top Gun: Maverick/Inception fusion (#tgminception)! This spawned as an idea in the TG:M discord and I’m very excited to share it. 

How it works: 

Sign up for the fusion. After sign-ups are closed, invitations to an Ao3 collection will be sent to participants. There are six prompts-- one scenario dreamed up in the TG:M discord, and five general prompts for you to work with. You can write something for one prompt or all six! 

The prompt list can be found in the graphics of this post or here. The character list does not have to be adhered to but was a general idea of each character’s counterpart in the other universe. 

You will have one month to write with a minimum word count of 1,000 words. Art is also more than welcome!! Sign-up is available until August 5th and works are due on September 5th. If it’s taking longer for any reason, or if you need to drop out, please reach out. 

Most importantly: have fun! Message the blog with any questions or reach out to eggelyse#2784 on Discord. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Sign up HERE. 

You can also join the TG:M Discord, which has a channel for this fusion, here.
